Text -- Jude 1:1-8 (NET)
Strongs On/Off
Context
Salutation
1:1 From Jude , a slave of Jesus Christ and brother of James , to those who are called , wrapped in the love of God the Father and kept for Jesus Christ .
1:2 May mercy , peace , and love be lavished on you !
Condemnation of the False Teachers
1:3 Dear friends , although I have been eager to write to you about our common salvation , I now feel compelled instead to write to encourage you to contend earnestly for the faith that was once for all entrusted to the saints .
1:4 For certain men have secretly slipped in among you– men who long ago were marked out for the condemnation I am about to describe– ungodly men who have turned the grace of our God into a license for evil and who deny our only Master and Lord , Jesus Christ .
1:5 Now I desire to remind you (even though you have been fully informed of these facts once for all ) that Jesus , having saved the people out of the land of Egypt , later destroyed those who did not believe .
1:6 You also know that the angels who did not keep within their proper domain but abandoned their own place of residence , he has kept in eternal chains in utter darkness , locked up for the judgment of the great Day .
1:7 So also Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns , since they indulged in sexual immorality and pursued unnatural desire in a way similar to these angels , are now displayed as an example by suffering the punishment of eternal fire .
1:8 Yet these men , as a result of their dreams , defile the flesh , reject authority , and insult the glorious ones .
